LONDON - China will use its power to quell Hong Kong protests if the situation deteriorates further after some protesters have shown signs of terrorism, China’s ambassador to London said on Thursday.

“We have enough solutions and enough power within the limits of Basic Law to quell any unrest swiftly,” Liu said. “Their moves are severe and violent offences, and already show signs of terrorism.” They have also presented the biggest popular challenge to Chinese leader Xi Jinping in his seven years in power.

China should hang it's head in shame !

I thought humans sit on their butt. Sitting on your hands sound ALIEN

Beijing should respect Hong Kong's thinking.

I am curious to see what the world would do when the Chinese military enters HK. My guess is that they will cry at the UN and nothing more. It always boils down to money

* China will wade in with war machines and crush innocentpeople and we will sit idly by and watch, bc trade it far more important than Democracy' There I've fixed what the Ambassador meant.

If the Chinese seriously want to avoid a massacre, and it seems that they do because they haven't done anything yet, why not engage with the protestors in talks, using the UK as a neutral party

He is right
